Jermaine Strong has been a hot topic of conversation. But not for his play on the field – rather, for his lack of play. After all, Strong was arguably UNC’s top cornerback in 2006. But Strong struggled at times learning the new staff’s defensive schemes and lost his starting spot to senior Kendric Williams. But with Williams out for the season with an ACL tear, Strong is back with the first unit and ready for a shot at redemption. (Inside Carolina)
